We divide 988697 by 89
Our goal is to divide 988697 by 89.

Advancing to step 1:
89 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 89

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 89, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 89 from 98, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 89

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 98 by 89, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 89 from 98 to get 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 89

On to step 4:
The number 89 fits into 96 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 111.0
Subtract 89 from 96 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 89

On to step 5:
89 can be fit into 79 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1110.0
Subtract 0 from 79 to get 79.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 79, then repeat: 797 / 89

Going ahead to step 6:
797 divided by 89 is 8 with a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11108.0
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 712 from 797.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 850 by 89, we get 9 and a remainder of 49.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11108.9
Subtract 801 from 850 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 490 by 89, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11108.95
If we take 445 away from 490, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
450 divided by 89 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11108.955
Subtracting 445 from 450 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11108.955 and a remainder of 0.0005.
